Laboratory Animal Medicine

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Review sessions are conducted on the biology, medicine, pathology, and husbandry of rodents, rabbits, and primates and on current legislation regulating the care and use of research animals. The course may include field trips to other institutions.

When Offered Fall, spring, summer.
